Hello Advanced Adult Class!
Here is some material that we've been looking at/will be looking at:
* If you haven't already, check out ChatGPT. It speaks German. You can ask it any questions you want. It's just a fun way to practice typing and reading German with a VERY patient speaking partner (that won't switch to English if you don't want it to).
* An article about trains being cancelled in Sachsen-Anhalt (in simple German) (in regular German)
I encourage you to read this article (by me, whoops) about electronic flashcards (with built-in algorithms for efficient learning). It's a great support tool for remembering vocabulary.
I will NOT be able to teach class on March 9th.
This week's theme is "city" and some more "house" stuff that we may not have covered last week.
